Tanks-A-Lot settings have been changed

I posted this earlier under Server Administration but got no response so I have created a new topic here. Sorry for double posting:

Someone has changed the settings on Tanks-A-Lot Aberdeen and changed the whole character of the server/map. The repair pads have been modified to not reload the tank guns. The pad repair time has slowed considerably too. I understand that some players really dislike "Padders" but it's just a matter of team cooperation to distract padders from the front and kill them from behind. The no reload change has resulted in users with heavy tanks running back to the home base to reload every time they run out.  Now padders spend even more time sitting on the pad waiting to repair and then drive somewhere else to reload instead of quickly rejoining the action.
Please return the previous settings.

The reload bug has been fixed an hour ago.
For the pads: its a (slight) different way of playing indeed

Yes, I noticed the reload is fixed. I still think the game has been slowed by the repair change, but the reload is an improvement.

The pads have not been returned to their normal settings. The game is still slower than it used to be. When will this be fixed? There was nothing wrong with the original speed of repair.

Re: Tanks-A-Lot settings have been changed

cicero is right. the only good change that i would see happening to tanks a lot is to put the middle flag on the road. it would probably make players use tanks instead of infing in the village. therefore making the gameplay more competetive and balanced. other than that, tanks a lot is a pure, classical server.

Still ridiculous spawn times today. Makes the game a lot of sit around and wait. I don't like the center of the road flag either but it won't slow it down like the time changes. It will make it less interesting. It takes nerve to take the city in the building and infantry skills. It's a tank map but it's more inclusive if there are places where infantry can play too.
